Did anyone else notice that when they were getting out of the limo- hummer thing at the club the back window of it said somebodys limosine service 1-800-123-4567. Does that mean that Hef doesn't own that limo and only rents? Seems kinda odd to me, but then again the whole show seems kinda odd to me.

I suspect that behind the scenes, Chistina Hefner is writing up a nice air-tight prenup for her father and Holly so that she can get him to take the other bimbos off the payroll. This show may be the last hurah for Hef's harem. Holly will get her wedding and finally have sex with him - during which he will die. The prenup will leave her with nothing but Hef's dentures and a Hello Kitty sheet set.

Then Chistina will sell the property and take the Playboy empire from Disneyland (Centerfold: maybe you'll see some bush, maybe you won't hee hee!) into Hardcore Porn Land (New Centerfold: Look - I am fisting myself!) and make the company profitable again.

Kendra reminds me of a bipolar I know, right down to the fake laugh (ah... ha ha) and the "I don't know how to cut a cake!" and of course, the giant fast mood swings. If special K follows the same life-path, she's got several dramatic divorces, lawsuits and mental hospitalizations to look forward to.

It's sick how excited I am about seeing tonights craptastic epi.

Re the rent-a-limo, how about the huge cloud of smoke pouring out of it when the gang arrived at the club (or restaurant)?

I'm pretty sure Hef gave up the pipe years ago after a cancer scare, and I know indoor smoking in clubs/restaurants is illegal in CA (unless you're on a patio, or a real star like Lindsay Lohan who lights up everywhere..lol). So are the girls power puffing prior to their arrival at (insert random venue here)?

I don't know which show is creepier: The Cathouse or this geezer-slutfest of a show.

Oh by far, this show is creepier Foobarb. On Cathouse, no one has deluded themselves into thinking there is a relationship with long-term happiness associated with the business transaction!

The house rule is that they cant be out after nine - if I were at a birthday party was I was twelve I would have been allowed to stay until at least 10:00. These are grown women. Also, is it a rule that they travel together? Delusional Holly calling him to check in made me feel kinda bad for her. I wonder what her backstory is.

OK now I'm convinced. Even if they aren't having sex with Hef, they're definitely having sex with eachother. I just took a girls trip with some of my friends, and even though we shared a hotel room, at no point did we shower topless with eachother.

Holly sure was senuously eating that birthday cake, wasn't she? Damn girlfriend, we get it, you like your cake. She also struck me as quite the self-important bitch tonight.

And if we were wondering about the state of Hef's finances, I guess that question was answered pretty nicely too. The girls had to use their own money to go to Vegas? That would NOT have happened 30 years ago. And then Holly says to Hef, "You should get your own airplane." So now we know he doesn't have his own plane, which is kind of sad for someone of his status.


WORD. And he seems to have put the fear of God into them if they come home late. That's not normal. Can you say abusive relationship?

This show is sooo disturbing. Nine o'clock curfew? Must be Hef's bedtime and he doesn't want his bunnies out late acting trashy (cause they're so well behaved during daylight hours - nice boob pop out Holly).

Another note on Hef's finances (or lack thereof), when he was married with children in the mansion he changed the "Caution, Bunnies at Play" sign on the driveway to "Children at Play". After the divorce and his return to hoarding random bottle blondes it seems he cannot afford a new sign. There is just a yellow sticker over the sign now stating it's the bunnies at play again. It reeks of the low rent sleeziness that is the fading Playboy Empire.

lordy...

1.I found myself playing the "which one are you game" during this episode...mostly I am a 'kendra'.
2. I aint diggin' the curfew and the fact that they couldn't spend more than a day in Vegas
3. AAAAAAAWWWWW shit Barbie Benton is stoppin' by for a visit...it's goin' down peeps!!! Can I get a "oh snap!" lmao

That didn't work out to well for Penthouse. They almost went extinct a while ago.

There is an adfor ESPN Fantasy Football, that soo reminds me of the women on this show. In the ad, three or four beautiful women are sitting in a totally pink bedroom wearing pink belly shirts and tight pink shorts, discussing how wonderful their life is, having each other and being so devoted to the interests of their boyfriend (namely fantasy football.) Finally they begin to realize that their life can't be real and they are part of some guys fantasy. (The punchline, ""We're just icing on the cake." "Ooooh, there's cake," coos another.").

Unfortunately, I really don't think any of Hef's girls realize that they are a continuing fullfilment of his 1960's vintage fantasy.

I think Holly is waiting on Hef to croak.

I agree with the posters who said that the women are just plain dumb. Not just clueless, but dumb to think that this "Hee HEE HEE I'm so cute that I CAN be stupid and still be considered a catch" act is attractive.

Does anyone know which Playmates were on Hugh Hefner's arm during the Sex and the City episode at the Playboy mansion? Holly looked familiar from that episode.

I was going to delurk and put my two cents in but you all have said it for me. This show took a bizzare and disturbing turn last night.

Does anyone at Playboy HQ have approval of these shows? If they do and they actually approved the new ep last night they're nuts. Grown women with a 9 p.m. curfew? It made everyone involved look pathetic.

Another sad fact about the 9 p.m. curfew was when they arrived in Las Vegas and were exiting the limo, the camera shot to the sign at the Palms advertising the party they were there for as starting at 10 p.m.

These girls are way boring. They keep trying to make the most mundane things appear to be a big deal, exciting and soooo funny (a la the beach balls taped to Kendras door). When Kendra and her girlfriend/pre-op trannie Destiny were bringing the cake out to the pool -- big whoop.

Kendra was just itching to get in that pool and start flirting with all the guys there. But you just know Momma Holly would so not be having that!

Does Bridget think she's a doll? Because she wears doll clothes. Or costumes. Whatever, they aren't a real womans outfits.

Ha, ha ha! Seriously, how do they get dumped/fired/evicted whatever???? I bet it's pretty close to the above. The nine o'clock curfew thing is just further proof that these women are toys/children for Hef and he has no actual respect for them as grown women.

I am so glad I am not the only one wondering how they get "let go".

Is it wrong that I am hoping Kendra (the most likely one I think) will be let go? I wonder if Holly will have to "break up" with her. I cant see Hef doing it himself.

The funny/sad part about that is that Hef had his own DC-9 jet- the Big Bunny back in his 70's heyday. It was painted black with the rabbit on the tail and had a disco inside. I was just wondering this morning what had happened to the plane.
Idiot Holly needs to watch Hef's A&E Biography and educate herself.

Anyway, how much does Holly hate having to supervise Kendra? Holly's like the high school senior who thinks she's oh-so- sophisticated dealing with her annoying 8th grade sister. Hee!



I had heard a few years back that Playboy was going to tone down the nudity to compete with Maxim, Stuff, and FHM. I think in Hef's mind Playboy s like GQ or The New Yorker with nude photos thrown in, not a true porn mag. With the advent of the internet, adult mags have suffered.

I assume the 9pm curfew is to prevent Puffin's GFs from stepping out on him and cheating. Hef isn't having sex with any of those women, at most they're all blowing him in rotation.
Hef only goes out on Thursday nights and that must mean that the "girls" only get to go out on Thursday nights. Then when they go out they have to hang out with Playmates in a VIP room and fawn over Hef some more. When do they socialize with someone who isn't a Playmate or a butler?
What an awful life for a pretty 20-something.

considering that may be the case...its a shot in the foot for these reasons:


1.FHM/Maxin/Sutff/Blender have mostly celebs in which Playboy goes down that road quite a bit now

2.the women in Playboy now all mostly sport that plastic pornstar look (reference Carmella and Destiny in last nigt's ep)

It seems to me like the Playboy "girl next door" (not in my 'hood) theme is old and tired, just like Hef. He's never evolved to keep up with the times.

The new "God" in the soft-core arena is Joe Francis with Girls Gone Wild.

Hef can't compete, he's not even in the same league.

I keep wondering if the girlfriends have to sign some sort of contract.

I see absolutely NOTHING in the way of feelings between Kendra and Puffin. He's totally the grandpa. When she calls him "honey" I just want to laugh. And the Bridget/Hef relationship is strange too. That one kind of reminds me of father/daughter. Ick. Now I grossed myself out.

When Hef was young the all-pajamas-all-the-time thing made him seem like the suave sex maniac. Now at the age of 84 (or whatever) it makes him seem like... the senile nursing home resident. I would like to advise him to wear actual clothes during the day.

Perhaps he could endorse a new clothing line...Elderwear and generate some cash for a new plane?

I tihnk hef looks after Kendra more like a neice or a daughter (Grand maybe?). Only reffering to how he sometimes refers to her as Kid and Kiddo

They must or we would of heard more about what life as one of this old man's "girlfriends" is like.

AH HA!!!

Kendra has done some other "stuff" by way of modeling, she's one of the "Benchwarmer" models:

http://benchwarmer.com/bwtradingcards/2004...ph/p.kendra.jpg


...that's all I found when I googled her, as far as pictures outside of her appearing at Playboy events with Hef

I'm ready to be flogged with sticks for saying this *as I duck*, but does anyone else think that Kendra has an awkward, not-very-feminine body? Maybe it was just the 8 inch heels she was sauntering around on in the Las Vegas hotel, but she walked and carried herself like a man. And not a very gracious one.

I thought the same thing about Hef always wearing pajamas. Like, wondering when it was time to go to the TV room with the rest of the nursing home residents? What do they have him doing to make him look sooo important? Come on.

Oh, poor cat, all cats are cute in their own way. Another one I will have to adopt, I guess. (I am evolving into crazy cat guy.)



You mean you didn't giggle like school girls, soap each other up, splash around and then have a 'lingerie competition'? I've been reading Playboy for years, and I thought that's what always happened when young women get together.

(Yes, I am being sarcastic.)

Back to the show, watching the girlfriends consistently gives me the same feeling I had when I watched real life footage of Dorothy Stratten. It's not just a case of being not too bright, they seem 'slow'.

I was thinking the same thing. If there was anyone left on earth who thought these were really Hef's "girlfriends" and not just employees, they can't possibly think that now. He comes off so geriatric and creepy grandpa. And the women are just so dumb and delusional. Who thought this would be a good idea? What do they hope to accomplish? I'm baffled.

She has no waist whatsoever. And the ridiculous outfits of those 70s shorts and tube socks don't help.

So true. That scene with the birthday cake would have been adorable if they were six-year-olds. But with grown women, it just seemed so sad. And Bridget with her matchy-matchy outfits, again cute for a six-year-old. A grown woman with an advanced degree, sad. And Holly saying how flattering it is when they enter the stadium and men hoot and make animal noises at them, sad. And the constant shrieking about how good a time they're having when they're doing the most mundane stuff is kind of sad too. Perhaps they have to have labotomies to get the "girlfriend" gig.

Seriously. Free room and board and school tuition? (the latter of which is just speculation; they did have to pay for their own trip to Vegas.) Or maybe they just have visions of Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy in their heads, and they think this is their road to fame. I mean, look at Barbie Benton, the former girlfriend... (whom I had entirely forgotten ever existed, until that promo for next week.)

I was thinking the same thing about Bridget's Las Vegas outfit -- If you handed her a staff and put a bonnet on her head I would swear that she was wearing the Little Bo Peep costume from Trashy Lingerie's Halloween collection. Bridget doesn't even try to talk like a grown woman. She baby talks. That bugs me.

I happened to see a photo of Carmella (the birthday girl) a long time ago in Playboy before she got her boobs done. She looked so much better. She looked like a small b cup and IIRC she has a super small waist and hips (Like an 18" waist and 30" hips or something.) She looks almost as porny/fake as Destiny now.

I wonder if the girls really had to fly in coach like they complained?? Hef must not pay them much. Hef also must not care that they probably get oogled and harrassed or he would want to protect them by renting a plane for them or getting them better seats.

(Maybe this is why I am still single, but...) If my boyfriend demanded that I return home from Vegas by 9 PM, then he'd better be the one paying for my airline ticket and it would be for business class or better...or he wouldn't be my boyfriend anymore.

I think that if they are staff and have a 9pm curfew thats sad, but if they are really his girlfriends and they have a 9pm curfew thats even sadder. And its not like he gave them that curfew because they were going to Vegas. Holly clearly said that was the house curfew everynight. So if one of them wanted to go see a movie with a friend they would have to go to the matinee? Would they even be allowed to go without the other two? Ive had hair appts that went later than 9pm. I dont want my boyfriend running the streets til dawn every night but if he wanted to go out with his friends he hadnt seen in a while I wouldnt think to tell him that he had to be home by 9 (and he wouldnt dare tell me that).

Thats really sad. And fuddy duddy - which is quickly becoming Playboys new image.

Oh, and I think Bridget mentioned they were flying Southwest - SW doesnt have first class. They dont even have assigned seating.

He seems like an old version of the resident advisor in a dorm - keeping an eye on the "girls," reminding them of curfew, having weekly outings planned. You know, but in an old creepy pervert kind of way. I can't blame Hef for finding young women attractive, but he treats them like they are his dim-witted foster kids. On the one hand, if he's paying for their room/board/upkeep then it IS like living at home where your parents are entitled to make the rules, but gah the whole situation creeps me out!

Kendra seems to go out of her way to wear outfits that are young and skimpy but unflattering (think: the jersey she wore to the batting cages). I kept looking at her bathing suit and wondering why she thought that looked cute enough on her body to wear in public. A simple string bikini would have been more flattering on her.

One of the few things I enjoy about going to the airport is people watching. There are the older people who remember when flying was part of the adventure and they dress up. Then there are the people like me who just want to be comfortable on the flight. And then there are people like Bridget who think that the most appropriate outfit for a short flight is a tiny polka dotted dress. I, for one, do not want to wear a skirt so short that my ass (or even upper thighs) will be touching the seat, but hey, I'm a germaphobe.

What I'm really curious about is when Hef kicks the bucket -- do you think the "girlfriends" will get anything?

I agree with the posters who said Hef treats Bridget like a daughter and Kendra like a granddaughter. What about Holly? Does anyone think she actually has sex with Hef? I feel for sure that Kendra doesn't -- just the vibe I get.

I would love to sneak a copy of Raise the Red Lantern in to the girlfriends and see their reactions. Aw, who am I kidding? They'd just whine about the subtitles and turn it off right away.

I can imagine their reaction to that movie!

"I don't want to reeeeaaaaaaad during a movie!"

Or better yet, they actually watch the movie and then turn to each other and say, "Well at least we don't have to have sex with Hef!"

Oh my God I can't believe I forgot this (oh wait, yes I can). I grew up in a small town in Oregon and it was big time poop that a local girl posed for Playboy in 1994. Her big brother was in my class. I won't post a link to her photos (Tawni or
Tawnii Cable) CAUSE THEY ARE ON ADULT PORN SITES.

Small town girl does good. Ahhh. Great career move that posing turned out to be. HA!

The same publicist that nodded approvingly when Brandine and Festerline approached him/her with their idea for a reality show.

*A few posters have mentioned that the empire and house are falling apart. Take a look at the kitchen! The formica has been rubbed off the countertops in some areas. Hef can't afford a new countertop? The kitchen walls are all scratched and scuffed up. How hard is it to put up a fresh coat of paint? And the vinyl tile on the floors has seen better days. And when Kendra dug through the trash to find the missing gift, one of the kitchen staff members came over to the trash and saw a ketchup bottle and took it out. I swear I heard him say, "We can still use this, " or something of that nature.

*The maids must not clean the girls' rooms because they always look flithy and I doubt they'd want to deal with those annoying barking dogs.

*I was grossed out when Hef's BottomBitch (can't remember her name, but she wore the gold bathing suit) ate the cake all sexy like with her legs open and such. Yuck. Save that shit for the magazine.

*These girls spend their own money to go to Vegas and they aren't even allowed to spend the night? 9pm curfew for grown women? Come on! He couldn't give them a special pass for their friend's birthday?

This reminds me -- other posters have alluded to it, too. Are they only allowed to have Playboy Playmates/Bunnies as friends????? Are they really friends with Carmella?? or was that just for the show? The girls must fight. I used to fight with my roommates. I fight with my sisters.

Let's get one thing straight -- I am a woman. IMHO and in my experience, women are territorial. I do not understand how they don't fight more. I realize that for now they are playing to the camera -- and that maybe every once in a while Holly takes them out back for a smack down. Hef must have made some big promises -- in addition to the pictorial-- in order to get them to behave.

But would they be so territorial if they just consider themselves co-workers? I really thinks thats how Kendra and Bridget see themselves, its a job thats it, they are likely happy to let Holly live in her own deluded little world where she is hef's real true gf, and when the cameras are not around likely have little to do with Hef or Holly. I bet these girls are on the Playboy payroll as hostesses, the way Holly greeted the limo with pretty test shoot girl in the second or third epi, was totally the way a hostess would.

That's my impression. Holly's the only one who seems to have a real interest in having a relationship with Hef, and I doubt she feels threatened by the others in that regard. When Holly was talking about Kendra's messy room, it sounded like the way co-workers would talk about another co-worker being disorganized and messy. They probably don't even have that much contact.

It makes you wonder how they spend all their time when they're not performing their job functions. I'd be happy in the screening room watching videos (after getting the proper permission from grandpa -- I mean Hef) and working out for about a week, and then I'd go insane from boredom and the incessant yapping of the dogs.

Maybe the staff er..girlfriends drink the mansion kool-aide thus enabling them to get along. We did catch a glimpse of the pussy posse getting their thongs in a twist whenever "new" girls come to the mansion for test shots. Territorial is how they struck me. Maybe that adds to their cohesiveness as a group.

ETA: Except for Kendra though, which is good cause she could kick some bitch ass for sure!

Where are they supposed to make new friends? Playmates are the same as friends from work. They don't go out at night, Holly doesn't like to leave Puffin alone during the day, and they have to ask permission to use parts of the house. Plus with all the retro photo shoots who has time to make new friends? The only people they come in contact with work at the Mansion or hang out there. What a life. They're like dolls, they're supposed to look pretty on Hef's shelf.

Bridget believes she is a clothing designer

That's a good point. Since the one thing they all have in common is that they aspire to be in the magazine, they're united in their envy of all the others who have made the cut. Hef's a bit of a genious that way, I guess.

I guess we should have figured that out when we saw her glueing musical note-shaped pieces of paper on her dress for the jazz festival. I'm stunned Karl Lagerfeld hasn't called her up and offered her a job.

This pic that Chocolate Cherry posted is very "Astronaut Jones" (a Tracy Morgan's sketch from SNL)

Man, those pics are just plain creepy (Holly channeling old Hollywood glamour). He likes them young and dumb, so he can dress/photo them as "old"? WTF is that?

I think that it is from excessive working out. She looks like she is working towards one of those women bodybuilder physiques.
